When you become a member, both you and the community benefit
At the heart of the Academy Center of the Arts lies our membership program—an essential foundation for the prosperity of our nonprofit. It’s more than a mere formality; it’s a direct conduit to cultivating a flourishing arts community.
Whether you’re a donor, ticket buyer, student, parent, family, or local business, our membership program is designed to provide you with exclusive benefits and contribute to the overall well-being of our nonprofit organization.
As a nonprofit organization committed to serving the greater good, the Academy Center of the Arts relies on the support of individuals like yourself. It may come as a surprise, but ticket sales alone cover only half of the expenses involved in operating our Historic Theatre, Warehouse Theatre, classroom spaces, and galleries. Therefore, your membership plays a vital role in sustaining and enhancing our programs and facilities.
